Union Army soldiers relied on many different types of sidearms for
short range and close quarters combat. The revolver was unique in that
it had the ability to fire several rounds per minute before having to
reload. Revolvers were typically issued to officers and mounted
soldiers, however some were purchased privately or found on the
battlefield by infantrymen.

Distinguished by its octagon barrel and lever style loader, the 1851
helped to begin both the expansion of the West and the Civil War. The
1851 Navy is commonly considered to be one of gunfighter “Wild Bill”
Hickok’s favorite handguns. The British government licensed the
manufacturing rights and produced what is commonly known as the London
Model. This revolver features an 7.5" octagonal barrel, steel frame,
brass guard, and walnut grip. It is available in .44 caliber, weighs
2.75 lbs., and is 13.5" in length.

Not a high quality revolver did not keep way to many problems to write.

This is my second .44 cal cap and ball revolver, my first of the Traditions (Pietta) brand. The revolver arrived quickly and has excellent fit and finish, tight lock up and smooth action. At the range it functioned flawlessly. I shot with 25 and 35 grains of Goex black powder. At 10 yards distance, with 25 grains it hit right on the bulls eye and in the 9 ring. At 35 grains the revolver shot high by about 4 - 5". The wind-age was right on center out of the box and is easy to take apart for cleaning. The wooden grips are nicely finished and well fit to the frame. The bluing is perfect and has a high luster. I would purchase another firearm from Bud's and of the Traditions (Pietta) brand.

I ORDERED THIS CAP AND BALL REVOLVER AND BUDS SHIPPED IT OUT RIGHT AWAY AND IT ARRIVED AT MY HOUSE JUST A FEW DAYS LATER. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL GUN WITH CASE HARDENED FRAME WALNUT GRIPS .PIETTA SEEMS TO HAVE CHANGED THEIR GRIP STYLE TO BE TRUER TO THE COLT NAVY GRIP INSTEAD OF THE PIETTA TAIL. IT'S NICE. I'VE SHOT ABOUT THIRTY OR FORTY ROUNDS WITH ROUND BALLS AND CONICALS 30 TO 33.5 GRAINS OF BLACK POWDER AND PYRODEX SELECT FFG. IT SHOT GOOD AND RIGHT WHERE YOU PUT IT. THE TRIGGER SPRING BROKE RIGHT AFTER THIS SHOOTING SESSION. I HAVE ANOTHER PIETTA WHERE THE TRIGGER SPRING BROKE RIGHT AWAY. WITH PIETTAS ITS GOOD TO HAVE SPARE TRIGGER AND BOLT SPRINGS. PUT IN THE NEW TRIGGER AND BOLT SPRING AND WE ARE BACK UP AND RUNNING , HOPEFULLY FOR GOOD. THE OTHER PIETTA I HAD TO PUT A SPRING IN IS STILL WORKING AFTER A COUPLE YEARS. ANYWAY, I'M ENJOYING THIS PIETTA NAVY 44 CAL. REVOLVER IT'S FUN. AND IT SHIPS RIGHT TO YOUR HOUSE. ENJOY!

I just received my 1851 and my first impression is very positive! I've owned many guns over the last 50 years and I cannot recall any of them having a better fit and finish.

My biggest concern before getting the gun was removing the wedge. There are numerous posts with stories about people having major problems removing the wedge. I had no problem. Per the instructions I took a plastic handled screw driver and gave the wedge a nice, sharp smack and off it came! No problem.

If this gun works 1/2 as well as it looks, I'll be one grinnin' fool :)

After having received the gun I took it out of the box and noticed that it had alot of sharp edges around the grip and the fit was not all that great. I took a little time dehorning and sanding down various areas ( i also griinded down the wide flair at the base of the grip) and am now very satisfied. The case colored hardening is beautiful. Buds was a pleasure to do business with as well.
